Angus Who?? This clown MUST do the right thing now, by the club and resign. He is an absolute disgrace.

My great fear is our supposed 3 up and coming A Grade Midfielders- Rich, Redden and Rockliff have reached the end of their deveopment, given the number of games they have each played. We needed at least 1 or 2 of these guys to become an a grade midfielder this year. It seems like they will just...

I agree with your comments about Dyson Hore-Lacy..he and the board did what they felt was best for the club..most fans backed him because we thought he was our 'lion' fighting the AFL but... Here is a critical example, whereby Dyson and the board, stuffed up big time and werent clear with us...

Yes, its a great shame Jeremy Guard was let go. I spoke with him on several occassions. Most people here seem to agree he did a great job. The most disappointing part, considering he was also an ex Fitzroy player, is the club (to the best of my knowledge) did not thank him for his contribution-...

This post is directed at the management of the Brisbane Lions- the key decision makers of the club.

Great work Tancas!! Wonderful to hear the ROYAL DERBY HOTEL, ARE THE MAJOR SPONSOR OF FITZROY FOOTBALL CLUB IN 2013!! I will certainly drop into the hotel with a few mates during the football season. All Fitzroy fans- lets support our major sponsor in 2013 -- ROYAL DERBY HOTEL!!

How Ironic. The Sydney Swans, are on track to reach 10 000 Victorian members in 2013 and have increased staff numbers in there Melbourne Office- AS REPORTED IN THE SUNDAY AGE -03/03/13. Oh, and yes, despite having 4 Melbourne matches and 1 game in Geelong like us this year. The lions so...

Bartlett has been terribly unlucky. But guys, lets be brutally honest for a moment: players who have two or more knee recos, generally dont make it back. Or if they do, retire soon afterwards without making any real impact - Richard Hadley, Tristan (I think) Walker- tall Collingwood forward...

We won 4 games last year. Personally, winning 8 to 10 matches this year, would be a great improvement. Sure, Gold Coast and GWS are weak, but lets remember every club plays them at least once too. And Gold Coast did beat us once last year. However, I firmly believe a finals appearance is...

A wonderful evening!!

Yep, as I mentioned too some may not be viable..but at the very least, I certainly feel a few A4 flyers placed around the main entrace gates - (for memory gates 2 & 3 at Ethiad and Ponsford Stand entrace- could be done, hopefully without any fuss). Likewise, having the Fitzroy Football Club...

Great work Mikey. I have been to a few swans games in Melbourne over the past couple of years. They also do a great job of keeping the bulk of their supporters together. A couple of other suggestions (naturally if viable) that may help to ensure the bulk of lions fans sit together: ** Perhaps...

Thanks for posting this...great memories. It appears there were more than parts 1 & 2...does anyone have the entire interview on file???

Good work by the club- hopefully they can promote this better in the future too.....much better to have all lions members and supporters sitting together. Creates a united front, great atmosphere and a vocal lions presence.

A well made point... The song is fine, but its certainly not as upbeat or stirring as other clubs songs, where fans often sing it with passion and gusto after a win. Most other club songs I know (whether it be a Victorian or interstate club) are more upbeat and seem to encourage more fans to...

In the real world (Ill refer to the corporate world) this is the way of life. It may sound harsh, but its reality. Management are quick to praise good work but just as quick to focus on "mistakes" or areas for improvement. They are not forgotten about or ignored, otherwise the same mistakes...

You are entitled to your opinion and also good at putting words in peoples mouths too. I dont think you grasp the concept this is a forumn, and yes, I am entitled to my opinion as well. I'll touch on a couple of your comments: Firstly, in an earlier post, I gave them credit for this gesture...

A big thumbs up for the Brisbane Lions Board of Directors, Management Team and anyone involved in yet another Brisbane Lions PR Debacle. Firstly, they somehow find the need to design two FAKE HYBRID HERITAGE JUMPERS. Even though, Fitzroy- (yes the club you merged with)- provided you with 100...

The Brisbane Lions Board & Management Team, should be ashamed of themselves: ** The fact that anyone, a lions member, lions fan or any other footy fan, could log onto the website and vote, is a joke. ** The press release suggests the late voting surge 'raised eyebrows'.....surprise, surprise...

I'll touch on a couple of points.. ** Bowers/Kelly still would have proceeded with this function. Why? Purely based on the financial return. They would have pledged their unified love of Fitzroy, again, based on the financial return for the club, this function will generate. ** In reference to...

I would fully support the lions wearing a bears heritage jumper on that occassion. Period. But, my question to 'Lions Insider' would be the following: 'Would the Brisbane Lions, also design a fake, hybrid heritage version of the Brisbane Bears jumper. Just like they have done in this instance...

Roylion - agree with you entirely. Firstly, though, I'll acknowledge the Brisbane Lions for choosing to wear a Fitzroy style jumper for the occasion. Even though, this should have been anticipated anyway, ala the heritage jumper worn, (last Fitzroy jumper) as part of the 'Kings of Pride'...

As a member of Fitzroy Football Club, I am extremely happy we still exist in our own right and enjoy seeing Fitzroy playing back at Brunwick Street Oval. However, for me, I will always remember Fitzroy as a VFL/AFL club, playing against other VFL/AFL clubs. Seeing them field a team in the VAFA...

Re: Brett Burton For me, we are overlooking the biggest issue- our team, is simply not good enough at the moment. Its why rotations are down, to keep our better players on the ground for longer periods. Hopefully, we will improve as the season progresses, given a large bracket have played no...

I understand the AFL will spend 200 million dollars on GWS and the region of Western Sydney over 5 years. Judging by that woeful attendance at their first actual home match, at their own ground, they will need it. It really is a pathetic crowd, which seems to have been overlooked by the AFL...

Our management team, from this era, should be ashamed of themselves. They were largely responsible for the demise of our club. Here are my thoughts... * They clearly knew, the issues we faced at Brunswick Street in the 60s and perhaps more importantly, the need for us to broaden our supporter...

Just to clarify, I am referring to ALL HOME GAMES. I suspect you are referring to home games at the Junction Oval only. Most clubs played a couple of home matches at Waverley/MCG back then. These have to be included for a true comparison... Fitzroy's 11 home matches, along with the other clubs...

Note the following stats- courtesy stats.rleague.com... 1983 average home game attendance: Fitzroy - 19102 Geelong - 19066 Hawthorn - 20202 North Melbourne - 18850 Footscray - 18961 St Kilda - 20189 The above crowd figures, totally prove you are incorrect. Regarding Fitzroy's average...

Mate, with all respect, you have no idea what your talking about. If you had read the headline and article itself, you would have noted this. Its why the article was written in the first place. Point 1: Yes, the AFL wanted us out. But, critically The AFL, set out to strategically remove us...

How much would the broadcast deal be worth now, with 19 clubs? Based on a quick calcuation, an extra team would add- 14 million per season or 70 million over 5 years, based on the current deal for 18 clubs. Assuming we would receive similar funding via the ASD to other clubs...
